If the notion the Gaza protests were broadly antisemitic was a fringe conservative media canard rather than an idea spread by the mainstream press, would they be trying all this legally? How much are columnists talking nonsense going to cost these colleges? How many students will suffer?

On the night she was picked up by immigration agents near Tufts, Rümeysa Öztürk said she had no idea who the men were who took her phone and hustled her into a van. For hours on a long drive north, she was shackled and feared she might be killed, she said in a statement filed in federal court.

If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Here’s a live data tracker and map of academics targeted by ICE/State Dept, as well as an ICE detention tracker. To note in the academic abductions: Every arrest or attempted arrest so far has been done off-campus. Degree being pursued and country of origin show no patterns yet.

Being snatched off the street for your opinions. I'll say it again. We are deciding, right now, whether the aspirations we hold for this country are finished. Whether we're going to let these hoodlums and grifters throw what's left of the American idea into the garbage for their own profit and gain.

Again, it must be said that her actual views are immaterial—whether or not we agree with what she has said or done (and I do)—she cannot and should not be imprisoned for them in a country with a Constitution that guarantees free expression.

Every time I hear about the conditions of the El Salvador camps I think about growing up hearing lots of stories where the US invaded & overthrew a government that captured and treated people like that. I know the mythical US of WWII stories distinct from historical truth but the myth is dying too.

I need everyone to send me good thoughts. Today I'm formally pitching A24 my idea of making an MJ Lenderman biopic that gradually reveals, via nightmarish flashbacks, that MJ Lenderman is actually Neil Young after taking The Substance.

No, he doesn't. Randy E. Barnett and Ilan Wurman should be disbarred and removed from their positions for even saying this. There should be no mercy for people articulating this made up bullshit in the legal profession. They are enablers of fascism no different than the lawyers of the Nazi regime.

Do NOT let people rewrite history to fit their political narrative. Decriminalization in Oregon was successful by every metric it was intended to address. But people like this - selfish - fell for an expensive right wing campaign to make them think it was bad, and they fell for it and got rid of it.

We are at the point of the fascist autocoup where the interim US Attorney is replying to an anonymous pro-Nazi account who wants to see someone punished for simply sharing the names of Elon Musk's lackeys who have gotten access to extremely sensitive government data systems.
